Hey Aurélien, Most of what I know about this new interface is from a couple of examples that Berk posted a while back (he may have written the interface...?), and from looking at the python module dataset_adapter.py in ParaView/Utilities/VTKPythonWrapping/paraview/vtk. I don't understand it all, but it basically seems to make it easier to go back and forth between VTK data sets (and data arrays) and numpy arrays. In the same directory, algorithms.py uses this data_adapter module, and data_adapter uses numpy_support, plus creates new classes which bundle together the VTK and numpy objects, and make them easy (and pythonic) to access.
I have never used it, but it looks like there is some support built in for multi-block data sets -- there are CompositeDataSet and CompositeDataIterator classes defined towards the end of dataset_adapter.py. It looks like there isn't the type of GetBlock() support you were expecting, but instead you can iterate through the blocks: for block in inputs[0]: print block.Points I haven't done that much with it, but it really seems to be a handy way to use numpy in the programmable filters!
